 +**document_root path**
 +
 +Files that are not defined as resource locations can be accessed by using the HTTP protocol. These files must be located in the path setting of the document_root. The defined document_root path location cannot be modified when the nimhttp service is operational.
 +
 +The document_root path might contain many directories. When you set the enable_directory_listing option, client requests can travel the document_root path. If the **enable_directory_listing** option is set to value of no, all files that are used during the installation must be located in the current working directory of the document_root path.
